What is enclosed car transport?

Enclosed auto transport moves your vehicle inside a fully covered trailer rather than on an exposed open carrier. The trailer creates a barrier from rain, snow, dust, road debris and public visibility during transit.

This method is commonly selected for luxury vehicles, exotic cars, restored classics, antiques, collector vehicles and cars with custom paint or low ground clearance. Enclosed carriers generally transport fewer vehicles and may use equipment designed for careful loading and securement.

Enclosed transport is commonly selected for luxury, exotic, classic, antique, collector, custom and other high-value vehicles where reduced exposure is a priority.
